Yes, but I suspect that the part of the population who supports this policy is small. A much larger part either does not care or dislikes this in general, but not enough to voice their opinion. Reciprocation could help make this majority speak up.

Plus, I would not overestimate degrees of separation -- if a friend's granddaughter traveling internationally for a high school trip supplies social account credentials, and those get leaked it is a powerful demonstration of stupid law in action. Having her get a load of humiliating / X-rated junk as a result would I suspect make even a strong supporter rethink his support.
